Depends on what you speak, there's just a lack of resources.

African languages is a broad term. There are Semitic, Cushitic, Nilotic, Bantu and many more groups of languages

Even with resources they are quite hard I think

I mean all in general, unless you are saying some of those are easier or harder^
But you can speak individually if you think
Somali is difficult?

There's no grammar whatsoever. Half their words are loanwords and the other half consists of clicks and shit

Of course there is grammar, every language has it
Half is an exaggeration

Bantu languages are generally disgusting. I was reading about Tanzania the other day and came across a place called "Ngorongoro".

Are you gonna try and tell me that sounds pleasant? Don't judge me but I have a bias against certain letters. I hate 'G' with a passion.

Somali is easy if you're a Cushitic or Kiswahili speaker. North and east African languages that have Arabic influences tend to be easier for said speakers.

There is no grammar? Every language must have it

In Somali, you can't even tell when to use spacing.

All i'm saying is somali has a lot of lone words as well. And so does English now that i think of about it, it's normal.
